Right on track for the day for Backwards NaNo. Did you thank a veteran for serving today? If you are a veteran, please accept my thanks for being willing to defend our country no matter when you served. I have a special fondness in my heart for Cold War Warriors.

My backwards NaNo cumulative goal for today was 28,157, so I’m a few hundred words behind that, but I exceeded my daily goal of 2298 by about 150 words by writing 2459 words. Tomorrow, if I remain on target, I’ll pass the 30,000 word threshold. I’ll need to get busy … Continue reading →
Cats: Big Orange is the Mama Cat
In talking with one of my neighbors yesterday, I learned Big Orange is, indeed, the Mama Cat to the kittens I’ve been trying to decide if I can legitimately trap and get fixed. I thought Big Orange was the Daddy Cat, because orange kitties, according to my vet, are 75% … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 9: 25,227/50,000
Another fairly slow day. I did pass the half-way point, and I met my NaNo minimum word count for the day. I’ve fallen about 630 words short of my Backward NaNo goal. I did get several things done around the house today, got good work done on Forward Motion’s chat … Continue reading →
Tech Stuff: Apps versus Web Access
One of the beautiful things about the Apple iOS environment is the thousands upon thousands of apps that will do nearly anything you could want. Many of them duplicate what can be accessed via a web page — Twitter, Facebook, news sites, and banking apps to name a few. As … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 8: 23,492/50,000
I had a really slow day until this evening, then the words just took off. I managed to meet my Backwards NaNo goal of 23,447 — exceed it, in fact. I fell short of the daily goal by about 500 words, but I was ahead on cumulative, so I’m still … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 7: 21,188/50,000
I’m ahead of my goal, even though I got minimum words today. Two very sad stories today. One moreso than the other. I got the sadder one written and am working on the morally sad one now. My goal was to be at 20,920 words today, so 21, 188 is … Continue reading →
Little Orange 2 (Peaches)
Little Orange 2 (I think I’ll call him Peaches) has been sitting in the side yard all afternoon. He’s been fascinated with something in the roll of fencing (which is horribly overgrown with weeds). He started on that brown spot on the other side of the blocks, facing the … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 6: 19,501/50,000
A very productive writing day. Maybelle had her calf. Josh had his first Tee-Ball game (he got a hit!), Connie, Sherry, and Josh all got enrolled in the summer reading program, and Brandy ran into high school friend Ruby at the Tee-Ball game — Ruby’s daughter, April, is on the … Continue reading →
